Last day of school!
Today, I got up and ran. Since it's Friday, I had to be extra speedy getting ready because school starts at 8:30 so we can take our weekly exams. This week, we focused on the passive voice and I think it went pretty well (can't be too sure). During grammar class, JuanCarlos answered any general questions that we had about Spanish and then we convinced him to show us more videos of his Dobermans (Doberman?). In conversation, we finished the presentations from yesterday and takes to Diana about life in general. Finally, we ended our school day with a little celebration that included a diploma and sweatshirt from El Sol. Still, I cannot believe that we "graduated" from El Sol today. It feels like forever ago since I first walked into sala 16 with Romeo, but it is crazy that it is actually coming to an end.
In order to properly celebrate, we went to Punto Azul and treated ourselves to some ceviche. I also got the Parmesan scallops and they were amazing.
After we were properly stuff, I headed to Parque Kennedy to meet up with Nathalie and Kelly. From there, we headed to the Inca Markets to do some light souvenir shopping. The 5ft llama just taunted me the entire time, I really want to bring it home but I know I cannot. From there, we stopped at a bank so that Kelly could use the ATM, but the machine ate her card. When we tried to ask the manager to get it back, he just said it wasn't possible and told us to leave so that other people could use the ATM. Thankfully, she has a credit card she can use in the meantime, so we went shoe shopping to help her forget. After picking up some greatly needed gelato, we parted ways and headed home.
At home, I took my daily afternoon nap. They don't really siesta in Lima, but I'm trying to start a trend. I woke up to dinner, which I ate with my host mom. Then, I practiced my Rubix cubing for a bit until I had to get ready to go out.
Tonight, we all met next to the Parque del Amor. Actually, our spot is closer to the lighthouse but we all find each other either way. We stayed there for about an hour just hanging out and listening to Chance of course, then we headed back to Victoria in Barranco. It sounds cheesy to say but I truly am going to miss Victoria, I just don't think there's any bars in the US that are as pretty with the twinkly lights and towering trees. Yes Mom that's right, trees, it is like a fairy house (I know it's odd but that's all I can think of to compare it to). After Victoria, we headed to another discoteca (I do not know the name), but I did not stay long as I was exhausted and my feet started to hurt. I ubered back with Amelia and Nate, the once again fell asleep as soon as I got home.
